Never attempt to operate over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees.
Be careful when skidding or sliding. Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by practicing at low speeds and
on level, smooth terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces, such as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order to
reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out of control.
Never operate a CRICKET in fast-flowing water or excessively deep waters. Contact with water may affect the
batteries and may reduce stopping ability. Test your stopping ability after leaving water by removing pressure
from accelerator pedal rapidly several times in a row.
Always use the size and type tires specified in this manual.
Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in this manual. (8-15 PSI)
Never modify a CR1CKET vehicle through improper installation or use of accessories.
Never exceed the stated load capacity for a vehicle, Cargo should be properly distributed and securely attached.
Reduce speed and follow sound procedures for carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for
braking.
